The rest is fine but I must object this.
When people hate people such as Pol-pot, Hitler, etc they are not because those people mirror themselves. There are such thing as empathy.
I can't possibly accept rule No. 7. It's just plain naive and stupid this point is in my opinion.
And life is certainly not a game. If it was tell me who's playing with theirs? Tell me those and I'll ask them to quit their life, literally to see whether they're really playing because if life had been a game quitting life(i.e killing yourself) would've made no big deal.
overall the whole points are simplistic imo and not too mention obvious.
just glanced at No. 9. So you mean all people should not be helped and could solve their own problem? So why do we bother working? Certainly there's no need for doctors, hospital, trade, cooperation, insurance, etc. This point again is too simplistic though I can understand the point that's being conveyed. This book approaches and the seek readers approval emotionally rather than intellectually imo. It's a light philosophical book.
